Welcome to Harvest Moon, with plenty of room for eight plus pooch! This beautifully converted threshing barn is thought to be over 400 years old and is bright and airy with contemporary décor and a wonderfully cosy wood burner. The landscape here is truly amazing with numerous countryside walks from the doorstep and the Devon coast within easy reach. This luxury property is the perfect escape for a family, and welcomes two-well behaved dogs.

Situated on a quiet, semi-working farm in the tiny hamlet of Curscombe, Harvest Moon boasts charming features and is elegantly furnished throughout with great attention to detail.

Looking out over lush green fields, numerous countryside walks are on the doorstep, or guests can paddle in the stream and have a picnic. There are wonderful views and an abundance of birdlife, and wildlife, including foxes, deer, badgers and hares, are often spotted whatever time of year you stay!

The welcoming home-from-home is light and airy and benefits from a spacious open plan kitchen/dining/family room - a very sociable space with French doors opening out onto a terrace, with outdoor furniture and a barbecue. There's also a separate large sitting room with comfortable sofas and TV which is made cosy with crackle of a wood burning stove, perfect for chilly evenings. On sunnier occasions, guests can throw open the French doors to invite in a cooling breeze, enjoy an al fresco feast on the terrace or settle outside on the lawned gardens.

Upstairs, the four spacious bedrooms are combined with two first-class bathrooms, one of which is en suite. The master bedroom has a 5′ bed and an en suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. There are two twin bedrooms with 3′ beds and a further double bedroom with a 5′ bed. They share a large family bathroom with a free-standing bath and a separate shower. There is a further shower room on the ground floor.

The accommodation boasts 2Mb wireless internet connection, and is has a private fully enclosed garden with outdoor furniture, barbecue and dog-proof fencing.

An ideal base for families and groups of friends, there is parking for four cars and short and midweek breaks are available, with a minimum stay of 3 nights.

Lovely peaceful remote location and yet only 10 minutes from Honiton shops and The Otter pub. Ted is a great host - chatty & friendly & provided a fabulous hamper of complimentary goodies on arrival - milk, eggs, fresh bread, cake, fruit, coffee, wine to name a few. Thank you this was really lovely! The kitchen is very well equipped and had everything we needed and more! We (3 generations of family aged 17 to 89) all loved it here and will definitely return. The only improvement I can think of is that given we visited in the summer, and therefore had the windows open, next time I’ll bring a plug in fly zapper as being on a farm there were understandably a few about! Thank you for a fabulous stay!

It was exactly what we were looking for. Rural, dog friendly and big enough for us to have plenty of space. It didn't disappoint. The welcome pack really was generous and made us feel so welcome and cared for - thank you. Ted was available when needed and good source of information but equally left us to our own devices throughout. The barn was perfect and so nice and big for our family. Cosy lounge for the dark evenings and the availability of logs for the fire was also so generous and appreciated. Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

A great location for a family holiday

We had a fantastic time staying at Harvest Moon. The property is clean, comfortable, very well equipped with a modern interior, and in a lovely and very quiet location at the end of a lane to the north of Feniton, some way outside the village. It was lovely for our 5 year old daughter to be able step outside and say hello to the chickens, and see cows and sheep in the fields opposite. It is well located to explore south Devon and west Dorset. Ted is an excellent, friendly, host, there if you need him but otherwise lets you enjoy your holiday in peace. The basket of goodies waiting for us on arrival was much appreciated and a lot more generous than we’ve had in other holiday properties! The property sleeps 8; we were a party of 5 in the end (it was intended to be 7) and so had plenty of room, but even with 8 there would be sufficient room. It has its own private garden area although in October it was a bit too cold to take advantage of this! The acid test for any holiday is “would you go back?”, and we certainly would.

A superb venue for a family celebration with a very welcoming host.
A superb venue for a family celebration with a very welcoming host.
Our stay was to meet up with family and friends to celebrate our Golden Wedding and this proved to be the perfect venue. Shortly after we arrived the owner, Ted, called around to make sure we were comfortable and readily agreed that we could charge our car - he is thinking about having dedicated facilities installed over the winter period. On arrival there was the most bountiful welcome hamper that we have ever experienced. I won't list the many items as I wouldn't wish to spoil the surprise for future visitors. There was no shortage of crookery, glassware or cutlery and there was plenty of provision of cookware, etc. Copious towels/bath sheets provided for our use and effective showers. Ted also supplied toiletries. Our four cars didn't stretch the allocated parking. A most enjoyable stay for our special occasion.
